I’ve compiled some great resources for you to help you be successful on the Internet.

Great, not free resources

Backblaze – keep your computer backed up off-line for as little as $4 a month per computer. This has been a real life saver for me. Even if you back up to an external hard drive, they can fail too! Believe me it happened to me 3 years ago! Check it out here

Goodsync – Keep the files on two or more computers synchronized. Fast and easy. The Pro version is worth the small price.

Dropbox – For online file sharing and syncing. Great for sending me large or many files! I have the Pro version, but most can get away with the free version.

Evernote – I use MS OneNote because it came with my MS Office 365, but Evernote is a great, free alternative! Keep all your notes in one searchable location, with categories, images, and web-clipping capabilities.

FileZilla – A good basic FTP (file transfer protocol) program for moving files to and from your website host.

www.pairnic.com – great company to register your domain and check availability. You can trust they won’t steal your domain name or over charge you. Privacy is INCLUDED with each domain registered or transferred to them.

https://whois.icann.org/en – go straight to the issuer of ALL domains. This is a safe place to see if a domain name you want is available or not.
